Chapter 13: Testing Hypotheses – Quiz A

Name _______________________________
1. A company manufacturing computer chips finds that 8% of all chips manufactured are
defective. Management is concerned that high employee turnover is partially responsible
for the high defect rate. In an effort to decrease the percentage of defective chips,
management decides to provide additional training to those employees hired within the
last year. After training was implemented, a sample of 450 chips revealed only 27
defects. Was the additional training effective in lowering the defect rate?
a. Write the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. What is the value of the test statistic?
c. What is the associated P-value?
d. State your conclusion using α = .01.
2. A company that sells eco-friendly cleaning products is concerned that only 19.5% of
people who use such products select their brand. A marketing director suggests that the
company invest in new advertising and labeling to strengthen its green image. The
company decides to do so in a test market so that the effectiveness of the marketing
campaign may be evaluated.
b. In this context, describe the Type I error possible. How might such an error impact the
company?
c. In this context, describe the Type II error possible. How might such an error impact
the company?
d. Based on data collected in the test market, the company constructed a 98% confidence
interval for the proportion of all consumers who might buy their brand. The resulting
interval is 16% to 28%. What conclusion should the company reach about the new
marketing campaign? Explain.

3. A large software development firm recently relocated its facilities. Top management
is interested in fostering good relations with their new local community and has
encouraged their professional employees to engage in local service activities. They
believe that the firm’s professionals volunteer an average of more than 15 hours per
month. If this is not the case, they will institute an incentive program to increase
community involvement. A random sample of 24 professionals reported the following
number of hours:
12 13 14 14 15 15 15 16 16 16 16 16

A Type I error would be concluding that the percentage of customers purchasing the
company’s brand has increased, when in fact it has not. The company would waste
money on a new marketing campaign that does not increase the percentage of customers
buying their brand.

A Type II error would be failing to detect an increase in the percentage of customers

buying the company’s brand, when in fact it has. The company would miss an
opportunity to increase the percentage of customers buying their brand.
d. Based on data collected in the test market, the company constructed a 98% confidence
interval for the proportion of all consumers who might buy their brand. The resulting
interval is 16% to 28%. What conclusion should the company reach about the new
marketing campaign? Explain.
The 98% confidence interval contains the hypothesized value of 19.5%. Therefore, at a
significant level of α = .02, the data do not provide convincing evidence that the
marketing campaign increases the percentage of customers for the company’s products.

A Type II error would be failing to detect that the average number of hours volunteered

among its professional employees.

We reject the null hypothesis. The firm shouldn’t need to institute an incentive program
because the evidence indicates that professional employees volunteer an average of more
than 15 hours per month in their local community.

1. A report on the U.S. economy indicates that 28% of Americans have experienced
difficulty in making mortgage payments. A news organization randomly sampled 400
Americans from 10 cities named the “fastest dying cities in the U.S.” (Forbes Magazine,
August 2008) and found that 136 reported such difficulty. Does this indicate that the
problem is more severe among these cities?
2. Top management of a large multinational corporation wants to create a culture of

innovativeness and change. A consultant hired to assess the company’s organizational
culture finds that only 15% of employees are open to new ideas and approaches toward
their work. One of his recommendations is for the company to conduct seminars for
employees in order to disseminate and reinforce the new corporate philosophy. This is
done for a six month trial period after which its value in changing employee attitudes will
be assessed.

3. Insurance companies track life expectancy information to assist in determining the

cost of life insurance policies. Last year the average life expectancy of all policyholders
was 77 years. ABI Insurance wants to determine if their clients now have a longer life
expectancy, on average, so they randomly sample some of their recently paid policies.
The insurance company will only change their premium structure if there is evidence that
people who buy their policies are living longer than before. The sample has a mean of
78.6 years and a standard deviation of 4.48 years.

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
